U.S. Lifts Iran Oil Sanctions; Judge Blocks Trump Voter Data System

The United States has temporarily lifted oil sanctions on Iran as diplomatic peace talks continue. The move aims to create space for negotiations, though officials did not specify the duration of the suspension. Separately, a federal judge ruled that SAVE, a data system used by the Trump administration to verify voter information, is unlawful. The system, which cross-checks voter records with government databases, was challenged for violating privacy and procedural rules. The ruling blocks its use pending further legal review.
